  1. The #HonourableHarvest: Guiding Principles to Restoring Our Relationship to the #NaturalWorld

    Apr 12, 2021

    "We need acts of #restoration, not only for polluted waters and degraded lands, but also for our relationship to the world. We need to restore honor to the way we live, so that when we walk through the world we don’t have to avert our eyes with shame, so that we can hold our heads up high and receive the respectful acknowledgment of the rest of the earth’s beings."

    by Robin Wall Kimmerer, Author, Environmental Educator, & Plant Ecologist

  2. #GatherTheFilm - "Gather is an intimate portrait of the growing movement amongst #NativeAmericans to reclaim their spiritual, political and cultural identities through #FoodSovereignty, while battling the trauma of centuries of genocide.

    "Gather follows #NephiCraig, a chef from the #WhiteMountainApacheNation (#Arizona), opening an #IndigenousCafé as a nutritional recovery clinic; Elsie Dubray, a young scientist from the #CheyenneRiverSiouxNation (#SouthDakota), conducting landmark studies on #bison; and the #AncestralGuard, a group of #EnvironmentalActivists from the #YurokNation (Northern #California), trying to save the #KlamathRiver.

    Gather is coming to Netflix in the US on November 1, 2021! Gather is now available to stream on iTunes (US/UK/Canada), Amazon (US/UK) and Vimeo-on-Demand (rest of the world)."

  3. Another recipe for #Pemmican, which involves #Tallow and a #FoodDehydrator...

    Traditional Pemmican Recipe

    Pemmican is a traditional food perfect for long-term storage, hiking, or emergency food supplies.

  4. I would probably substitute bison tallow for the lard, but this is pretty darn close to what I know as traditional #pemmican! I also believe that honey or maple syrup can be used in place of refined sugar.

    Pemmican
    By Patricia Rowland

    Ingredients
    Dried meat (buffalo, game or beef)
    Dried #chokecherries (juneberries can be used as well) (use about the same amount as the dried meat)
    Sugar to taste
    Lard (to hold together) Do not use shortening or butter.

    Directions
    Pound meat very thin and dry in the oven [or a food dehydrator]
    Grind the dried meat in a food processor [or grinder].
    Add the chokecherries and blend together.
    The consistency should be dry and loose with fruit broken up.
    Add melted lard slowly while mixing.
    Two tablespoons of fat are used for each 4-5 ounces of meat plus 1/3 cup of fruit.
    Fat changes the consistency and makes it appear semi-moist instead of dry and improves the flavor and texture. Store in paper bags."

  5. The #SiouxChef is Reclaiming North America’s #Indigenous Cuisine

    Sean Sherman, co-author of a new cookbook and co-founder of The Sioux Chef, explains why original North American foods and #NativeFoodways are vital to creating a healthy and #SustainableFuture

    Sean Sherman
    October 18, 2017

    Excerpt: "Although hamburgers, pizza, and Coca-Cola are among the foods most often identified as 'American' cuisine, the truth is that over-sugared, over-salted, and fat-laden processed fare does not represent the true American diet. The original American cuisine arose from the vibrant and diverse indigenous cultures that thrived across the North American continent for thousands of years before #colonization.

    "My grandparents were among the first generation to be systematically assimilated to 'American”' culture—I heard stories of children kidnapped and sent to boarding schools, their hair cut, their language forbidden. How I wish I had been taught more than the handful of recipes I learned as a child — #wasna (dried meat and berries), #taniga (tripe soup), #bapa (#bison jerky), and #wojape (#chokecherry sauce).

    "When I was 13 years old, I began my working in professional kitchens, and by my early 20s, I had become an executive chef. I mastered the art of Italian, French, and Spanish cuisines until, at the height of my career, I knew I wanted to understand why there were so few #NativeAmerican restaurants across the U.S.

    "As part of The Sioux Chef, I work with my partner #DanaThompson and a team of 10 chefs, plus a number of indigenous culinary partners across Indian country. Our vision is to create more than a restaurant—it will be a place where we can share our skills, knowledge, and passion, with the goal of spreading our work across the whole of North America. To help us achieve these ends, our new #NāTIFS non-profit will focus primarily on indigenous food education and access. Through NāTIFS, we have created a research-and-development team called the '#IndigenousFoodLab' to further our own research, document our work, and help us become better educators.

    "We are also building a replicable model that will place an #IndigenousFoodHub in larger urban areas. The hubs will house a regionally unique indigenous restaurant that will not only make the indigenous foods available to the public, but also serve as a training center to educate students in the preparation, cooking, and preservation of #IndigenousFoods. They will also house education centers that offer classes based on the many curriculums we have been developing to help people identify, understand, and apply the knowledge of indigenous food systems."

  10. The Enduring Harvest: Reshaping Food Systems on Turtle Island

    Posted on November 13, 2025

    "On Turtle Island, the land now largely known as North America, traditional food harvesting is far more than a means of sustenance; it is the very bedrock of cultural identity, spiritual connection, and sovereign resilience for Indigenous peoples. For millennia, before the arrival of European colonizers, communities across this vast continent thrived on intricate systems of hunting, fishing, gathering, and agriculture, guided by a profound understanding of the land and its cycles. This #TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge (#TEK), passed down through countless generations, represents a sophisticated science of sustainability, reciprocity, and interconnectedness that continues to shape modern efforts to reclaim and revitalize Indigenous foodways.

    "The concept of Turtle Island itself is rooted in creation stories shared by many Indigenous nations, where a giant turtle forms the foundation of the world. This narrative underscores an inherent and sacred relationship between people and the land—a relationship that mandates stewardship rather than domination. Traditional harvesting practices are not merely about taking from the land, but about participating in a continuous cycle of giving and receiving, ensuring the health of both the ecosystem and the community.

    A Tapestry of Traditional Foods

    "Across Turtle Island, the diversity of traditional food systems reflects the continent’s varied ecosystems. In the Pacific Northwest, the #salmon run is not just a seasonal event but the pulse of life itself. Nations like the #NezPerce, #Kwakwakawakw, and #Haida have relied on salmon for thousands of years, developing complex fishing techniques, preservation methods, and ceremonies that honor the fish as a sacred relative.

    " 'Salmon is our first food, our medicine, our economy, and our culture,' states a representative from the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission. However, the construction of #dams, #logging, and #IndustrialPollution have severely impacted salmon populations, disrupting a lifeline for these communities. Despite these challenges, nations are actively working on habitat restoration, dam removal advocacy, and culturally informed fisheries management to bring the salmon home.

    "On the vast plains, the #bison (or buffalo) was once the lifeblood of nations such as the #Lakota, #Cheyenne, and #Blackfeet. Millions roamed freely, providing not only food but also shelter, tools, and spiritual guidance. Every part of the animal was utilized, embodying a profound respect for its sacrifice.

    "European #colonization, driven by a deliberate policy to destroy Indigenous economies and cultures, led to the near extinction of the bison, reducing their numbers from an estimated 30-60 million to a mere few hundred by the late 19th century. Today, through initiatives like the InterTribal Buffalo Council, Indigenous nations are reintroducing bison to tribal lands, a powerful act of cultural and ecological restoration. 'Bringing the buffalo back is bringing our people back,' remarks Ervin Carlson, former president of the InterTribal Buffalo Council. "It’s healing, it’s hope, it’s sovereignty."

  16. #Montana - #StoneChildCollege dedicates new #FlourMill

    by Tim McGonigal, Sep 24, 2025

    BOX ELDER — "A flour mill nearly a decade in the making was officially dedicated at Stone Child College on the #RockyBoyReservation on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, marking a significant milestone for tribal #FoodSovereignty and health initiatives.

    "Tribal and state leaders joined agricultural experts for the ribbon cutting ceremony, celebrating the completion of a project that faced several delays, including disruptions from COVID.

    "#BigSandy organic farmer Bob Quinn collaborated with tribal stakeholders to secure the grant funding that made the mill possible. Quinn specializes in ancient #KamutWheat, which is now being grown on the reservation and serves as the primary ingredient for the mill's flour production.

    "The flour mill represents more than just agricultural infrastructure for the community. Leaders hope the locally-produced flour will contribute to improved health outcomes on the reservation, where #diabetes and other diet-related health issues are growing concerns.

    "The project demonstrates the potential for tribal communities to develop #sustainable food systems that address both economic development and public health challenges through locally-controlled #agriculture.

    " 'So we're able to actually grow it, bring it in, mill it, and now we're developing the food chain around it and getting it into the schools and getting it into the commodity program and into the lodge and to the casino. Any place where there's food distribution, we should be there with our with our food. And so #Kamut flour is just, one of the value added products that we're doing,' said Jason Belcourt, #RockyBoy Sustainability Coordinator."

  18. #Montana - #StoneChildCollege dedicates new #FlourMill

    by Tim McGonigal, Sep 24, 2025

    BOX ELDER — "A flour mill nearly a decade in the making was officially dedicated at Stone Child College on the #RockyBoyReservation on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, marking a significant milestone for tribal #FoodSovereignty and health initiatives.

    "Tribal and state leaders joined agricultural experts for the ribbon cutting ceremony, celebrating the completion of a project that faced several delays, including disruptions from COVID.

    "#BigSandy organic farmer Bob Quinn collaborated with tribal stakeholders to secure the grant funding that made the mill possible. Quinn specializes in ancient #KamutWheat, which is now being grown on the reservation and serves as the primary ingredient for the mill's flour production.

    "The flour mill represents more than just agricultural infrastructure for the community. Leaders hope the locally-produced flour will contribute to improved health outcomes on the reservation, where #diabetes and other diet-related health issues are growing concerns.

    "The project demonstrates the potential for tribal communities to develop #sustainable food systems that address both economic development and public health challenges through locally-controlled #agriculture.

    " 'So we're able to actually grow it, bring it in, mill it, and now we're developing the food chain around it and getting it into the schools and getting it into the commodity program and into the lodge and to the casino. Any place where there's food distribution, we should be there with our with our food. And so #Kamut flour is just, one of the value added products that we're doing,' said Jason Belcourt, #RockyBoy Sustainability Coordinator."

  27. Have a beautiful #DayOfDionysos 🍷

    For #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth I'm introducing Native American deities 🌎

    Laka is the #Hawaiian goddess of forest growth and the goddess of Hula. #Laka is the inspiration a person thinks of while they dance. She is what causes the movement while the dancer is moved. She is also the goddess of the forest. She has reproductive energy which helps the forest grow and thrive. She can be found in the form of the Lama tree, the Maile Vine, and the a’ali’i plant.

  28. Happy #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth From the Army That Brought You the #TrailOfTears

    After 170 years of armed attacks, #ForcedRelocations, #EthnicCleansing, and #genocide of #NativeAmericans, the #USMilitary wants to celebrate.

    by Nick Turse
    November 28 2024,

    "'The Army was, bottom line, an instrument of a settler colonial empire that was determined to convert Native lands into private property for mostly white settlers,' said Jeffrey Ostler, professor of history emeritus at the University of Oregon and author of 'Surviving Genocide: Native Nations and the United States From the American Revolution to Bleeding Kansas.' 'That was its mission: to carry out a federal government policy that, in practice, often became a genocidal war.'"
